Myself too - the film idea we can do another time, this idea will rock! So how shall we start all this then?

Well, the way I see it we have two options.
1) Using the Free RP board on here to post the story, which would be pretty simple and easy or
2) Get Microphones and record the whole thing, we'd need scripts and stuff like that but those'd be fairly easy to write. or
3) Whatever options you guys can come up with ;D

Haha, oh no, his HAS to be either a video type film thingy or a dubbed voice thing with mics! Comics just wont cut how funny this could be! If you don't want to dub Jayne then just do Zolo! And old character wont be so bad I say we write up a script type thingy. Any idea what about exactly?

... Zolomon would be pretty hilarious if he was involved actually, although mainly cos I heard of some books called "Twilight"which would be much more fun to lampoon with him doing it.
"You call that a Vampire!?"
But if ya didnt want to dub him you could just do more of the writing. >_> I'm going to have to figure out how Rizuk sounds before attempting this.
As for scripting, I don't know what we should do first but we'd need an excuse for them to be a party. I'm kind of in favour of introducing them first as a neutral party for some laughs, (This is Ryan Ji..Jia.. Ryan Samurai "oh f*ck you!" Prometheus the Physics Rapist "nice way to describe my abilities..." The White Knight, the chivalrous robot "I'm Human! I'm wearing a suit of armour!" Yeah right! Armour is designed to protect, you have freakin laser guns on yours! Where was I...) or something like that, didn't really plan that one out...
Although, I think a comic would help for visuals + dubbings.

Hmm...that's a good idea. We could have a designated narrator who'd tell the story/introduce everyone at the start! The intro hardly needs much planning, but the actually story/stories will do.
So what kind of silly story/s are we going to have? Personally i'm somewhat stumped.

Wow... that's news, Ryan. >_>
Ok, I can imagine Zolomon being a Black Mage in the group, which is all good. Though I seriously know I won't be able to do him justice with my limited vocal acting capabilities. I wish I was Lanipator. >.<
Anyway, about the opening. I'm thinking one of two things.
1) Everyone could be in the same place for the same reason. A new tournament, to participate or watch, free cookies, a major sale, an odd power reading, everyone gets an invitation to some birthday bash. Whatever. After which all goes to hell.
2) Everyone is in the same city out of coincidence, but get involved with each other and group together once things get messy. And everything goes to hell.
I intentionally didn't give much thought to what happens beyond that, but I can, if nobody else feels up to it. My problem is making my ideas real, not coming up with them.
Also, I think a major drawback is that we can't all come together at one time to discuss the script in real-time. I'm guessing Jimmy will be a tour de force in this thing, and maybe Badger will as well, I'll probably get involved either way, but still, there is a wealth of characters and proper portrayal would require input from the creators of each character. Thus, we'd probably have to rely on PM's which would considerably slow down the whole thing. Ayunno, those are my thoughts.
Who do YOU guys thing should be put at the helm of this process? I think that a base team of some 3 people would be best, requesting assistance from whomever when necessary, but maybe that's just me.
And how do we plan to put the whole thing together? Each recording their own character separately according to the script, then putting that together? I think it would be best for everyone to record once, put it together, then try again when it's all put together, as doing it with no idea what it'll sound like and with some idea is very different.
So yeah, first thing would be someone checking out and determining the technical aspects of making such a thing. There's no point in getting ideas if we don't know what's required to actually make one of these. We also require a way to comfortably exchange relatively large pieces of info (video and audio), so that's a part of that.
Second, we need the actual stick figures of our characters. Is there someone here comfortable with making them? Or do we want to each make our own? Because I would really like Zolomon not to look like a Picasso.
Now, when those two things are taken care of, I believe we can actually start thinking more about the artistic, creative part of this thing.
Does anyone even remotely care about what I said here?

Huh, stick figures? Did I miss something?

Ok, so I misread the Order of the Stick part... but, I have to say, I like the idea of using OotS-type character portraits instead of just, say a face. That's for several reasons:
a) nobody here draws well enough to properly portray our characters. No, Dax, not even you.
b) I think using stickies would be a lot easier than just character portraits. It would give us more a variety and would do well with the whole humorous mood.
Ne?

Pfft, I draw well enough to do anything! But I wont do this, it'd take too long...

Depends how simple we go, I woulda gone for just three or so pictures of each character and maybe one for a few key NPCs and monsters. Things like "Angry" "Neutral" "Shocked" depending on who the character is.
I'll give the first few events some thought if no-one else feels like it, but my big things normally thinking up amusing events. Only one thats currently in my head would be "Quick! Use your shoving throw" *looks blank* "Umm, OK" *hurls monster across the room* "Think it worked?"
Only problem is making the sound effects of crashing.
BTW, I'll post soon.

Heh, I doubt the sound effects will be TOO hard. Hell, you can probably get hold of something online that would do it for us.
